Welcome to MANCENT.

The Manchester Continuing Education Network (MANCENT), is a loose network of independent lecturers and students with a firm belief that Continuing Education at a high level should be available to all who want it.

It tries to match interested students with highly qualified and experienced Continuing Education and University lecturers in the Arts and Sciences.

How it works:

MANCENT operates as a loose network allowing independent self-employed lecturers to choose their own fees and venues, while offering students the convenience of a one-stop shop when looking for courses in their field of interest, by offering a joint listing of all events.

Today we launched our Distance Learning programme for Summer 2020 for all of you who find yourself ‘stuck at home’. Using the telephone we are going to bring MANCENT’s courses into your home and hope that you will enjoy them, before we all get back to our regular meetings in the autumn:

COVID -19 Update
Dear all,
We are currently monitoring the situation closely and all our lecturers have been briefed on the situation. At the moment, we continue our courses as normal, however, should the government advise closing schools etc, we will, of course, follow government advice and will then post this here and inform you.
If you feel that you need to withdraw from a course you are booked on, please advise your lecturer or the MANCENT office of this.

Hello,
We have finally managed to fix our problem with the Webpage and hope you enjoy the new look and the new courses.
Once again our apologies for the break in service, which was unfortunately beyond our control.
Yours Sincerely,
Birgitta Hoffmann,
MANCENT Course director

Due to the adverse weather conditions this week, a number of courses had to be cancelled, we are in the process of rescheduling these lectures and will advertise the new dates here.
The day school “Ramesses the Great – Pharao of the Exodus” on Saturday 3rd has been moved to Saturday 24th March.
There are still places available on this course.

Dear All,
As of today we are adding the Spring 2018 courses. Ancient World, Archaeology and Latin are now online. More will follow in the next few days.
We hope to have the paper catalogue with you before the holidays.

Hi Birgitta,
Once again, thanks for the fantastic courses and study days! I’m really looking forward to them. Please can you kindly tell me how to book for the
2017 MANCENT conference: Rivers, Roman Harbours and the Roman Army, on 23rd December? Also, do you ever run classes for beginners’ Latin, and will there be a study day on the Archaeology of Iceland, in the Winter?
Cheers,
Julie C.

Dear Birgitta,
What fabulous courses! A big thank you to you and all the Mancent lecturers. Will you be running a study day on Orkney archaeology? Myself and a friend would be interested.
Cheers,
Julie C.
